For one, yes. I've posted actual content to be put on the web site, but
honestly, that shouldn't be just my job. Wy hasn't anyone else done the
same? Second, yes, I do have a web site that I could post contributions to,
but I've not done so, in fear of producing duplicate content. I don't want
to replicate something that Kevin has already put up, although it's looking
like putting things on my own site might wind up being necessary like it or
not.

Subject: Re: Two Questions
Have you actually produced any content and sent it to him or just contacted
him saying you could.? Actions speak louder than words usually. And if i am
not mistaken you have a site of your own that you run. You could post the
content there, link to it, on the list for people that could find it
interesting. and when PT access gets going, it could be moved over there or
linked from there as well.

Anyway, I have two questions.
first of all, let's face the blunt truth. Kevin might not like me saying
this, and might get a bit irritated at me, but this isn't to shame him,
nor is it to knock him nor anyone else down, etc. OK? I want to clear
that out of the way from the extreme get go. I am not! and I, repeat, I,
am, not! accusing anyone! here of anything, so don't even go there!
Kevin made a WordPress blog at
http://www.pt-access.net
This site/domain name has been there now for at least a year, if not
slightly more, give or take a few months. I've asked once on list about
this, and Kevin seemed slightly irked that I did so, or at least that's
how I took it. I had asked what the status was on the design of the
content on the site. I've written Kevin both on and off list and have
asked time after time after time again over Twitter, as well as privately
via e-mail and all I get is something along the lines of: "If anyone
contributes any content I'll be happy to put it up." I don't know about
others on here... that? I cannot speak to nor, of, but what I can! tell
you all is I've offered multiple times to contribute things, being audio
demonstrations, tutorials, write-ups, being an editer if needed, I've even
offered to help him manage/administrate the blog if needed. Face it!
It's been over a year, and not a single thing has been put up there. Not
even one. Again, I reidderate that I am not shaming nor blaming anyone
here. I'm simply stating fact of matter that no one can argue the truth
of. I don't know what the reasonning is behind why I and maybe, though
not sure, others have offered to put things up and they've not been
apparently acted upon. Frankly the reasons are none of our business,
Kevin's probably just extremely busy, I'll give him that, as he does do
music professionally, but people, let's be totally realistic here, ok?
Kevin, the only reason I'm publicly writing this, and not writing you
privately with this concern is that I've addressed this off list with you
before, and really didn't get anywhere. Had I, I would not have gone to
this measure.
Look, the PT access mailing list is a wonderful resource, and I do mean
wonderful! But! I also think that blog was a great idea! I remember how
excited Kevin was when he first launched the site. I just wonder what
happened. It's a little unsettling, frankly. I can't even comment up
there, as he's apparently disabled user registration, as well as user
commenting. So, yeah, I dono... I mean, Kevin, you're paying for the web
hosting, and you're paying for the domain, and possibly even for the blog
depending on where you're hosting it. I mean, really... is it worth
paying for the hosting of that domain/blog if no one's gonna use
it/contribute, and when we offer, it's apparently looked over whether
intentially or not? I just wonder ultimately if the web site is really
worth the justification. You know? With all due respect to Kevin and the
list... Just my thought, take it or leave it, either way's fine by me,
jsut don't be rude about it. that's all I ask. It's my opinion, not my
fact.
OK, the second question is, has anyone yet updated to PT 11? If so, and
using Mountain Lion, how're the counters/edit boxes and the other
accessibility issues we were having in V10? Have they improved? I'm
considering upgrading, but I'm not about! to pay $250 to do so, unless you
all can promise me! that things've been fixed to a large extent.
Anyway, thanks for the thoughts on the first thing, and the answers for my
second question.
Chris.
